BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are a family of enzymes involved in various of primary cellular functions, including cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, motility, survival, metabolism and intracellular trafficking [Vanhaesebroeck, B., L. Stephens, and P. Hawkins, PI3K the path to discovery and understanding. Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol, 2012. 13(3): p. 195-203.]. They are kinases capable of phosphorylating phosphatidylinositol [Whitman, M., et al., Type I phosphatidylinositol kinase makes a novel inositol phospholipid, phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate. Nature, 1988. 332(6165): p. 644-6.; Auger, K. R., et al., PDGF-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation stimulates production of novel polyphosphoinositides in intact cells. Cell, 1989. 57(1): p. 167-75]. Phosphorylated phosphatidylinositols, which are called phosphoinositide, play important roles in signaling transduction and membrane trafficking [Martin, T. F., Phosphoinositide lipids as signaling molecules: common themes for signal transduction, cytoskeletal regulation, and membrane trafficking. Anna Rev Cell Dev Biol., 1998. 14: p. 231-64].

PI3K family is divided into three classes II, and III) based on structure, regulation and substrate specificity [Vanhaesebroeck, B., et al., The emerging mechanisms of isoform- Specific PI3K signalling. Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol, 2010. 11(5): p. 329-41.]. Class I PI3Ks are further divided based on sequence similarity into class IA and class 113. The class IA PI3Ks comprise three closely related kinases, PI3Kφ, PI3Kβ, and PI3Kδ, which exist as heterodimers composed of a catalytic subunit (p110α, p110β, or p110δ) and a regulatory subunit (p85) [Yu, J., et al., Regulation of the p85/p110 phosphatidylinositol 3′-kinase: stabilization and inhibition of the p110alpha catalytic subunit by the p85 regulatory subunit. Mol Cell Biol, 1998. 18(3): p. 1379-87; Carpenter, C. L., et al., Phosphoinositide 3-kinase is activated by phosphopeptides that bind to the SH2 domains of the 85-kDa subunit. J Biol Chem, 1993. 268(13): p. 9478-83; Zhang, X., et al., Structure of lipid kinase p110beta/p85beta elucidates an unusual SH2-domain-mediated inhibitory mechanism. Mol Cell, 2011. 41(5): p. 567-78; Burke, J. E., et al., Dynamics of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase p110delta interaction with p85alpha and membranes reveals aspects of regulation distinct from p110alpha. Structure, 2011. 19(8): p. 1127-37.]. The class IB PI3K includes only PI3Kγ, which is composed of a p110γ [Stoyanov, B., et al., Cloning and characterization of a G protein-activated human phosphoinositide-3 kinase. Science, 1995. 269(5224): p. 690-3.] catalytic subunit that can associate with a p101 [Stephens, L. R., et al., The G beta gamma sensitivity of a PI3K is dependent upon a tightly associated adaptor, p101. Cell, 1997. 89(1): p. 105-14; Brock, C., et al., Roles of G beta gamma in membrane recruitment and activation of p110 gamma/p101 phosphoinositide 3-kinase gamma. J Cell Biol, 2003, 160(1): p. 89-99,] or p84[Suire, S., et al., p84, a new Gbetagamma-activated regulatory subunit of the type 1B phosphoinositide 3-kinase p110gamma. Curr Biol., 2005. 15(6): p. 566-70,] regulatory subunit. PI3Kα and PI3Kδ respond to signaling generally through receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) [Inukai, K., et al., Five isoforms of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulatory subunit exhibit different associations with receptor tyrosine kinases and their tyrosine phosphorylations. FEBS Lett, 2001. 490(1-2): p. 32-8.], while PI3Kγ signals through G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) [Stoyanov, B., et al., Cloning and characterization of a G protein-activated human phosphoinositide-3 kinase. Science, 1995. 269(5224): p. 690-3; Maier, U., A. Babich, and B. Nurnberg, Roles of non-catalytic subunits in gbetagamma-induced activation of class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase isoforms beta and gamma. J Biol Chem, 1999. 274(41): p. 29311-7.] and PI3Kβ signals through both [Kurosu, H., et al., Heterodimeric phosphoinositide 3-kinase consisting of p85 and p110beta is synergistically activated by the betagamma subunits of G proteins and phosphotyrosyl peptide. J Biol Chem, 1997. 272(39): p. 24252-6]. Expression of the PI3Kα and PI3Kβ isoforms is ubiquitous, while the expression pattern of PI3Kδ and PI3Kγ seems more restricted, with both isoforms found primarily in leukocytes [Kok, K., B. Geering, and B. Vanhaesbroeck, Regulation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase expression in health and disease. Trends Biochem Sci, 2009. 34(3): p. 115-27].

The relatively restricted expression pattern of PI31(6, in addition to data accumulated from studies in mice, where PI3Kδ was either genetically inactivated or hyper-activated or pharmacologically inactivated, suggests that this isoform plays a major role in the adaptive immune systems[Lucas, C. L., et al., PI3Kdelta and primary immunodeficiencies. Nat Rev Immunol, 2016.]. In mice, the loss of function of PI3Kδ in B cells impairs the T cell-independent antibody response but has no effect on class-switch recombination (CSR) and somatic hypermutation (SHM) [Rolf, J., et al., Phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity in T cells regulates the magnitude of the germinal center reaction. J Immunol, 2010. 185(7): p. 4042-52.], both of which are essential for antibody maturation and diversity [Stavnezer, J., J. E. Guikema, and C. E. Schrader, Mechanism and regulation of class switch recombination. Annu Rev Immunol., 2008. 26: p. 61-92; Li, Z., et al., The generation of antibody diversity through somatic hypermutation and class switch recombination. Genes Dev, 2004. 18(1): p. 1-11.]; while the hyperactivation of PI3Kδ in mature B cells interferes with CSR and SHM and inhibits the proliferation of antigen-specific B cell populations [Janas, M. L., et al., The effect of deleting p110delta on the phenotype and, function of PTEN-deficient B cells. J Immunol, 2008. 180(2): p. 739-46; Omori, S, A., et al., Regulation of class-switch recombination and plasma cell differentiation by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling. Immunity, 2006, 25(4): p. 545-57; Sander, S., et al., PI3 Kinase and FOXO1 Transcription Factor Activity Differentially Control B Cells in the Germinal Center Light and Dark Zones. Immunity, 2015. 43(6): p. 1075-86.]. Besides, PI3Kδ is also a key signaling transduction component for malignant B cells, which makes it an attractive drug target for B cell malignancies [Wei, M., et al., Targeting PI3Kdelta: emerging therapy for chronic lymphocytic leukemia and beyond. Med Res Rev, 2015. 35(4): p. 720-52.].

Meanwhile, PI3Kδ is required for the differentiation of nave T cell towards T helper cells, including T_(FH) (follicular helper) [Rolf, J., et al., Phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity in T cells regulates the magnitude of the germinal center reaction. J Immunol, 2010. 185(7): p. 4042-52.], T_(H)1, T_(H)2 and T_(H)17[Okkenhaug, K., et al., The p110delta isoform of phosphoinositide 3-kinase controls clonal expansion and differentiation of Th cells. J Immunol, 2006. 177(8): p. 5122-8; Soond, D. R., et al., PI3K p110delta regulates T-cell cytokine production during primary and secondary immune responses in mice and humans. Blood, 2010. 115(11): p. 2203-13; Kurebayashi, Y., et al., PI3K-Akt-mTORC1-S6K1/2 axis controls Th17 differentiation by regulating Gfi1 expression and nuclear translocation of RORgamma, Cell Rep, 2012. 1(4): p. 360-73.]. The interference on T_(FH) development leads to severe attenuation of T cell-dependent CSR and SHM in B cells [Rolf, J., et al., Phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity in T cells regulates the magnitude of the germinal center reaction. J Immunol, 2010. 185(7): p. 4042-52.], whereas the reduction on T_(H)2 and T_(H)17 cells induced by PI3Kδ deficiency could provide protections on mice with asthma[Nashed, B. F., et al., Role of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase p110delta in generation of type 2 cytokine responses and allergic airway inflammation. Eur J Immunol, 2007. 37(2): p. 416-24.] or multiple sclerosis[Haylock-Jacobs, S., et al., PI3Kdelta drives the pathogenesis of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by inhibiting effector T cell apoptosis and promoting Th17 differentiation. J Autoimmun, 2011. 36(3-4): p. 278-87.] respectively. PI3Kδ is also essential for the homeostasis and function of Foxp³⁺ T regulatory cells (T_(reg)) [Patton, et al., Cutting edge: the phosphoinositide 3-kinase p110 delta is critical for the function of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells. J Immunol, 2006. 177(10): p. 6598-602.]. PI3Kδ deficient mice develop colitis [Patton, D. T., et al., Cutting edge: the phosphoinositide 3-kinase p110 delta is critical for the function of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells. J Immunol, 2006. 177(10): p. 6598-602.] due to the reduced T_(reg) functions but have increased immune response against tumors [Ali, K., et al., Inactivation of PI(3)K p110delta breaks regulatory T-cell-mediated immune tolerance to cancer. Nature, 2014. 510(7505): p. 407-11.]. PI3Kδ also contributes to, but is not necessary for the reprogramming of CD8+ T cells to fully activated effector cells [Pearce, V. Q., et al., PI3Kdelta Regulates the Magnitude of CD8+ T Cell Responses alter Challenge with Listeria monocytogenes. J Immunol, 2015. 195(7): p. 3206-17; Gracias, D. T., et al., Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase p110delta Isoform Regulates CD8+ T Cell Responses during Acute Viral and Intracellular Bacterial Infections. J Immunol, 2016. 196(3): p. 1186-98.]. In contrast, the generation of memory CD8+ T cells requires the suppression of PI3Kδ signaling [Pearce, V. Q., et al., PI3Kdelta Regulates the Magnitude of CD8+ T Cell Responses after Challenge with Listeria monocytogenes. J Immunol, 2015. 195(7): p. 3206-17.].

PI3Kδ mutations, both gain of function (GOF) and loss of function (LOF), can induce primary immunodeficiency in human [Lucas, C. L., et al., PI3Kdelta and primary immunodeficiencies. Nat Rev Immunol, 2016]. Patients lacking of PI3Kδ function presented with recurrent infections and severe B cell lymphopenia [Conley, M. E., et al., Agammaglobulinemia and absent B lineage cells in a patient lacking the p85alpha subunit of PI3K. J Exp Med, 2012. 209(3): p. 463-70; Conley, M. E., et al., Agammaglobulinemia and absent B lineage cells in a patient lacking the p85alpha subunit of PI3K. J Exp Med, 2012. 209(3): p. 463-70.], while GOP mutations in 113K6 genes can cause a syndrome of combined immune-deficiency, which is referred to as activated PI3Kδ syndrome (APDS) [Angulo, I., et al., Phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta gene mutation predisposes to respiratory infection and airway damage. Science, 2013. 342(6160): p. 866-71; Lucas, C. L., et al., Dominant-activating germline mutations in the gene encoding the PI(3)K catalytic subunit p110delta result in T cell senescence and human immunodeficiency.

L., et al., Heterozygous splice mutation in PIK3R1 causes human immunodeficiency with lymphoproliferation due to dominant activation of PI3K. J Exp Med, 2014. 211(13): p. 2537-47.]. Patients with APDS were characterized with senescent T cells, lymphadenopathy and frequent infections [Elgizouli, M., et al., Activating PI3Kdelta mutations in a cohort of 669 patients with primary immunodeficiency. Clin Exp Immunol, 2016. 183(2): p. 221-9; Elkaim, E., et al., Clinical and immunologic phenotype associated with activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase delta syndrome 2: A cohort study.

J Allergy Clin Immunol, 2016.].

Because of the specific and critical functions of PI3Kδ in adaptive immune responses, the inhibitors of PI3Kδ are being developed for the treatment of autoimmune (such as multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis) and inflammatory disorders (such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), hematological and solid tumors as well as APDS [Lucas, C. L et al., PI3Kdelta and primary immunodeficiencies. Nat Rev Immunol., 2016; Stark, A. K., et al., PI3K inhibitors in inflammation, autoimmunity and cancer. Curr Opin Pharmacol, 2015. 23: p. 82-91.]. Idelalisib is the first PI3Kδ inhibitor approved in 2014 for the treatment of B cell malignancies [Yang, Q., et al., Idelalisib: First-in-Class PI3K Delta Inhibitor for the Treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Small Lymphocytic Leukemia, and Follicular Lymphoma. Clin Cancer Res, 2015. 21(7): p. 1537-42], In addition to idelalisib, at least 9 δ-specific and 5 δγ, δβ or δα-dual inhibitors are under clinical development [Wei., M., et al., Targeting PI3Kdelta: emerging therapy, for chronic lymphocytic leukemia and beyond. Med Res Rev, 2015. 35(4): p. 720-52.]. Among them, a δγ-dual inhibitor duvelisib (NCT02004522) and a δ-specific inhibitor TGR-1202 (NCT0261311) are being evaluated in phase III clinical trials.

Recently, both idelalisib and duvelisib were noted with the risk of increasing infections in lung [Okkenhaug, K., M. Graupera, and B. Vanhaesebroeck, Targeting PI3K in Cancer: Impact on Tumor Cells, Their Protective Stroma, Angiogenesis, and Immunotherapy. Cancer Discov, 2016. 6(10): p. 1090-1105.], which was inferred to be associated with their relatively low selectivity to PI3Kγ [Ruckle, T., M. K. Schwarz, and C. Rommel, PI3Kgamma inhibition: towards an ‘aspirin of the 21st century’? Nat Rev Drug Discov, 2006. 5(11): p. 903-18.]. PI3Kγ is important for immune cell chemotaxis [Hawkins, P. T. and L. R. Stephens, PI3K signalling in inflammation. Biochim Biophys Acta, 2015. 1851(6): p. 882-97,] and plays major roles in innate immune system [T., M. K. Schwarz, and C. Rommel, PI3Kgamma towards an ‘aspirin of the 21st century’? Nat Rev Drug Discov, 2006. 5(11): p. 903-18.]. PI3Kγ knock-out mice displayed increased susceptibility to pneumococcal infection [Maus, U. A., et al., Importance of phosphoinositide 3-kinase gamma in the host defense against pneumococcal infection. Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 2007. 175(9): p. 958-66.]. It also works in concert with PI3Kδ in multiple immune surveillance processes, including neutrophil recruitment [Liu, L., et al., Leukocyte PI3Kgamma and PI3Kdelta have temporally distinct roles for leukocyte recruitment in vivo. Blood, 2007. 110(4): p. 1191-8.] and T cell development [Webb, L. M., et al., Cutting edge: T cell development requires the combined activities of the p110gamma and p110delta catalytic isoforms of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. J Immunol, 2005. 175(5): p, 2783-7.]. The simultaneous genetic inactivation of PI3Kδ and PI3Kγ in mice leads to more severe impairment of thymocyte development and multiple organ inflammation [Ji, H., et al., Inactivation of PI3Kgamma and PI3Kdelta distorts T-cell development and causes multiple organ inflammation. Blood, 2007. 110(8): p. 2940-7.] than in the mice with the deficiency of each isoform alone[Swat, W., et al., Essential role of PI3Kdelta and PI3Kgamma in thymocyte survival. Blood, 2006. 107(6): p. 2415-22.].

Therefore, there is a need of PI3Kδ inhibitors with higher selectivity against PI3Kα, β and γ as the selective PI3Kδ inhibitors are expected to have improved safety profile and would provide new therapeutic options for APDS, autoimmune and inflammatory disorders as well as cancer, e.g., glioblastoma.

Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixture into a diastereomeric mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound (e.g., chiral auxiliary such as a chiral alcohol or Mosher's acid chloride), separating the diastereomers and converting (e.g., hydrolyzing) the individual diastereoisomers to the corresponding pure enantiomers. Enantiorners can also be separated by use of a chiral HPLC column.

A single stereoisomer, e.g., a substantially pure enantiomer, may be obtained by resolution of the racemic mixture using a method such as formation of diastereomers using optically active resolving agents [Eliel, E. and Wilen, S. Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds. New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1994; Lochmuller, C. H., et al. “Chromatographic resolution of enantiomers: Selective review.” J.

Biological Assays I. PI3Kδ Assay

Compounds disclosed herein were tested for inhibition of PI3Kδ kinase activity using commercial ADP-Glo™ Kinase Assay (Promega Corporation) and following the manufacture's instruction. Briefly, recombinant PI3K (p110δ/p85α) enzyme, lipid kinase substrate and a serial dilution of compounds disclosed herein were incubated for 0.5 hr at room temperature. ATP was added to initiate the kinase reaction, After incubation for 1 hr at room temperature, ADP-Glo™ reagent was added to terminate the kinase reaction and deplete the remaining ATP. After incubation for 1 hr at room temperature, kinase detection reagent was added to simultaneously convert ADP to ATP and allow the newly synthesized ATP to be measured using a luciferase/luciferin reaction. After incubation for 0.5 hr at room temperature, the luminescence generated was measured on a PHERAstar FS plate reader (BMG LABTECH). The residual enzyme activity in presence of increasing concentrations of compounds was calculated based on the luminescence. The IC₅₀ for each compound was derived from fitting the data to the four-parameter logistic equation by Graphpad Prism software. IC₅₀ of examples is presented in Table 1 as determined by the PI3K delta assay.

II. PI3Kα, β and γ Assays
